Into the Fire

What I'd like to talk about is books, specifically novels. What I'd like to do is once again discuss the "stuff" of stories and authors. What I'd like to do is ask readers some questions about their tastes in literature. And finally what I'd like to do is ask certain authors about what other authors' works they read. But those topics will wait for another day.

Instead, this will be a short post. Yes, the world is in chaos. Yes, the majority of "news" is negative and often tragic and worse: just about none of it can be trusted to be factual and truthful. 

The United States of America is being manipulated by forces outside this Constitutional Republic, and those forces want to end this last bastion of freedom and independent thought and deeds, to acquire it in all of its grandeur and use it for their own exploits. If you disagree, you simply do not want to believe that's possible. Sadly, it is, and it's happening right in front of you and all of the rest of the world. 

The only hope to defend this precious One Nation under God is the Lord God Almighty Himself. If your hope is in a man or a political party, that man or the standards of your party better know Jesus because there is no other who can defeat the enemy ravaging this country. 

I know literally millions of Christians are praying, repenting, and calling upon the Lord for our deliverance and healing. Our faith is in Him. Enough said. 

Father, you hear all of us asking for you to redeem our nation one more time, to set it straight, to save those who have yet to meet your Son, to grant us mercy, faith, and the grace to continue in a world partially gone mad and within our own boundaries. Only you, Lord. Please. In the Name above all names, the Name of Jesus, Amen.
